Thanks for the great photos!!! The patch I have is black/white triangle split vertically. I looked at all the patches on the site and it most resembles the 1st Corps AASC although that one is supposed to be blue/white. Are there any other badges like that? There didn't seem to be any other vertically split triangle shapes.

Joe,
I think your triangular patch is actually white and dark blue from the photograph you have posted. Searching through the Colour Patch Register 1915 -1949 the only colour patch split vertically I have found to date is I Corps AASC Dark Blue and White, the same as yours. Depending on how they were worn on the left sleeve it could be: I Corps Ammunition Park, vertically DB to the left, I Corps Troops Ammunition Column worn vertically DB to the right. I Corps Troops Supply Column worn upside down DB to the left, I Corps Petrol Park worn upside down DB to the right, No 1 AA Bde Coy AASC worn point to the right DB on top, I Corps Mobile School of Mechanisation worn point to the right DB on bottom, 2nd/1st Motor Ambulance Convoy ( Transport Wing) worn point to the left DB on top, and AASC attached to following Corps units: 2nd/18th Fd Amb, 2nd/3rd Fd Hygiene Section etc worn point to the right DB on bottom. Very confusing!! Cheers Chris |

Chris is right about the multiple and quite confusing uses of that particular triangular patch. Keith Glyde's book explains the differences in even more detail.
